Many would say that Mr. John Keats is the greatest poet of his 19th century, and it is maybe hard to disagree. He also had a love story suited for romantic norms, as well as a death. His definition of absorbing poetry is famous. The reader is not supposed to swim from shore to shore. He ought to remain in the water and feel the mystery without coming to learn it.
But Jane Campion really takes us from shore to shore and although the plot often is inter-foiled with the most beautiful excerpts from Keats' writings, you anyway have the feeling that so much more could have been made out of this poetry material.
A movie which doesn't really dare.
